OOC Information



Acier "Ace" Moonbound was a Force-sensitive human–Dathomiri hybrid of Mandalorian descent, born Vayun to Orryn of Clan Vethrisa and the Mandalorian fugitive Isley Verd Isley Verd , abandoned as an infant on Bonadan with only a lightsaber and no knowledge of his origins. His latent Force abilities pulled him into conflict and a mentorship under Jedi Knight Pisti Caleida Pisti Caleida

After uncovering the truth of his parentage and joining the Hidden Path, Ace became a rising figure in the Great Core War, confronting Imperials, Sith, and ancient threats. His attempt to save his mother led to her execution by Clan Vethrisa, triggering a grief-driven massacre that scarred him deeply. Weeks later, he fought Sith Lord Kyrothian Ravoch Kyrothian Ravoch aboard the Death Star III, losing his left arm before being rescued.

During his recovery and subsequent travels, he constructed a new lightsaber, refined his forms, slew the Mother of Teeth, and discovered a rare Dyad bond with Calyx Sundrift Calyx Sundrift . After aiding the High Republic on Genarius, Ace chose to infiltrate the Sith Covenant under false allegiance, determined to uncover the orchestrated darkness behind their uprise, unaware that his belief in his own immunity to corruption marks the beginning of his most dangerous trial yet.

Secret Origins
427bad96d0f0390d57a355254e0d5c18.jpg
Acier Moonbound was born Vayun in 884 ABY on Dathomir, the son of Orryn of Clan Vethrisa and Isley Verd Isley Verd . For centuries, Clan Vethrisa had pursued a breeding program to bring forth the Final Weave, a prophesied daughter destined to dominate the clans and bend the galaxy to her will. Orryn was chosen as one of the clan's most promising vessels, but her fate diverged when she fell in love with Isley, a Force-sensitive Mandalorian fugitive who would later become Darth Metus. Their union was brief, and when Isley departed for duty, Orryn discovered she was carrying his child.

The omens soon soured. The child was not the prophesied daughter but a son - an abomination in the eyes of her clan. When the elders moved to strip him from her, Orryn fled into the night. With the aid of Vinorl Kastan, a Jedi exile who entrusted the infant with his old lightsaber, Orryn escaped Dathomir and carried her son to Bonadan, leaving him hidden at an orphanage among billions to keep him safe from prophecy, the enemies of his father, and Nightsister vengeance alike. Orryn herself vanished soon after, remembered only as a traitor to her clan... and as a ghost in the journals she left behind.


Orphaned Beginnings
2cbb53edc71ba70c447fcbfa305d460a.jpg

Left with no other information, the caretakers named him Acier. Acier grew up in Sector 9G of the Vergeworks, never aware of his past. Sector 9G was wedged between a starport and a sprawling droid scrapyard. He grew up with the hum of engines and the clatter of machines as his lullaby. The orphanage was crowded and cold, forcing him to rely on himself early.

The scrapyard became his refuge. At first, it was just an escape from the noise of the dorms, but soon he scavenged parts to trade or tinker with, finding worth in what others threw away. In a way, it mirrored himself: discarded, but not without value. It was there he sharpened his resourcefulness and independence, lessons that shaped the survivor he became.

From boyhood he clung to his lightsaber, imagining the parents who had left it with him. At the same time, he learned the streets: scavenging, pickpocketing, and running errands for merchants or the occasional criminal. Quiet, watchful, and self-reliant, Acier grew into a survivor before he ever knew he was something more.


Life on the Streets
65422e8bb5d4e69464e135b500dc2eff.jpg
Acier was close to few individuals, but those few were incredibly influential in the boy's life. Mira, a former slicer turned mechanic, took Acier under her wing teaching him about starship systems and the art of slicing. She was the closest thing to a maternal figure, occasionally offering guidance and a modicum of stability.


Then there was "Red", a smuggler who introduced Acier to the wider galaxy's complexities. Through Red, he learned about the Jedi, Sith and the broader implications of the Force. Hearing these stories made Acier realise he was Force-sensitive and that one of his parents was likely a Jedi, the orphan would keep this information to himself - unsure of who he could trust.

Around the age of thirteen, Acier would meet Tessk - a Trandoshan enforcer for a local but small crime syndicate. After impressing the Trandoshan with his cunning and other skills, the orphan was employed for small tasks which exposed Acier to the darker aspects of the galaxy.


Final Job and Leaving Home
By seventeen, the distant anomalies plaguing the galaxy had grown harder to ignore. The holonets reported unexplained gravitational shifts, and hyperlane maps were being updated weekly. Traders spoke in hushed tones about converging galaxies and strange flickers in deep space, things none of them truly understood. To Acier, it felt like the galaxy itself was on edge… and so was he.

His curiosity about his parents, his lightsaber, and his growing connection to the Force had finally become too much to ignore. The young man decided it was time to leave Bonadan and explore the galaxy he'd grown up hearing about from Red. In need of credits to book passage offworld, Acier agreed to work one last job for Tessk with the promise of enough pay to finally get off the rock.

Acier was tasked with delivering a sealed container to a contact at a remote docking bay. The job seemed straightforward, but Acier's instincts told him there was more beneath the surface.

Upon arrival, Acier discovered the contact was an undercover agent working against Tessk's syndicate. A confrontation ensued, leading to a skirmish that resulted in the usage of Acier's lightsaber and the accidental ignition of volatile materials stored nearby. The ensuing explosion engulfed the docking bay in flames. Amidst the chaos, Acier was able to use his latent Force sense to navigate the blaze, rescuing trapped workers and narrowly escaping with his life.

In the wake of the disaster, Tessk accused Acier of double-crossing him, claiming he had orchestrated the explosion to sabotage the syndicate. In retaliation, Tessk placed a bounty on his head - dead or alive.

With Bonadan no longer safe and no credits to his name, Acier stowed away on a cargo freighter bound for an unknown world, the stars shifting above him, both literally and figuratively.

Now on the run, Acier dedicates himself to three goals: finding someone who can teach him the ways of the Force, discovering who his parents were… and staying one step ahead of the ones hunting him.



P E R S O N A L I T Y


In his earliest days after leaving Bonadan, Moonbound was driven by instinct, curiosity, and a hunger for answers. Drifting across the Outer Rim, he balanced survival with self-discovery. He approached the Force with eager, sometimes unrefined determination, attempting simple telekinetic feats and chasing leads with single-minded persistence, driven as much by hope as by frustration. His social comportment at this stage showed a youth still learning to trust others, cautious in interaction yet capable of playful warmth, as evidenced by his casual salutations and moments of light-hearted banter while earning credits in cantinas and workshops.

As his journey continued and he uncovered parts of his parentage and broader galactic conflict, Moonbound's demeanor became more determined and reflective without losing its underlying intensity. His early reactions to danger were often fueled by adrenaline and instinct, sprinting through crowded streets or preparing to defend himself when sensed threats arose. But even in these moments his movements revealed a growing understanding of his own capabilities and limitations. These experiences helped temper his earlier impulsiveness with a developing sense of situational awareness and an evolving understanding of what it meant to be Force-sensitive in a galaxy fraught with peril.

Following the Battle of Atrisia, Moonbound had become a quietly resolute and emotionally grounded presence, shaped by loss but no longer governed by it. He confronted his past directly, acknowledging grief and regret without denial or self-destruction, and integrated those experiences into a clearer sense of self. Ace listened more than he spoke, choosing his words with care and offering empathy rooted in lived experience rather than platitude. In moments of danger he acted with deliberate resolve instead of reckless impulse, protecting others with precision and restraint. His dry, understated humor remained a means of connection rather than deflection, and his loyalty to those he trusted was steadfast, protective, and consciously chosen.



P H Y S I C A L- A P P E A R A N C E

Acier's mixed Human–Dathomiri heritage is immediately apparent. His skin is a warm brown tone, lightly freckled across the face and shoulders, sharply contrasted by white, ash-colored locs inherited from his Dathomiri lineage. The locs are worn loose and unadorned, falling around jaw to neck length, with the sides of his head closely cropped. The style reads practical rather than styled, kept out of necessity, not vanity.

His face is striking and severe. Dark, focused eyes sit beneath heavy brows, conveying constant awareness even at rest. Years of hyper-vigilance had carved that instinct into him. Two thin scars cut along his left cheek in the shape of an X, earned during the assault on Sevacros II. With age, h
is features had sharpened: high cheekbones, a strong jawline, and scars that gave shape to a face once softer, more boyish.

Acier's left arm is fully cybernetic, replaced after being severed at the elbow In a duel with the self-proclaimed Sith Lord Kyrothian Ravoch Kyrothian Ravoch on the Death Star III. The prosthetic is combat-grade and personally maintained. Initially a point of conflict within himself, Acier now treats the arm as an extension of his body, frequently repairing or tuning it himself, and shows no hesitation or awkwardness in its use.

Acier stood at 1.80 meters. His frame had shed the malnourished frailty of Bonadan, replaced with the lean, compact build of a professional fighter. His physique is clearly trained rather than incidental: broad, well developed shoulders; a strong, defined chest; and dense musculature through the arms and back. Everything about him suggests conditioning for speed, endurance, and repeated high-impact exertion, honed through relentless training and the trials of combat.




S T R E N G T H S- & -F L A W S


S T R E N G T H S
+Hardened Survivor
Life on Bonadan forged Acier into a pragmatic and instinct-driven survivor. The underworld taught him to read danger before it struck, to improvise under pressure, and to navigate chaos with calm precision. These instincts have only sharpened through war and loss, he adapts where others freeze.
+Mechanical Aptitude
Mira endowed Acier with practical skills in repairing and maintaining various devices. This hands-on experience makes him a competent mechanic, capable of improvising solutions under pressure.
+Force Conduit
Acier possesses an unusually deep and volatile connection to the Force, the culmination of generations of ritual and selective breeding. Once raw and turbulent, his power has narrowed into something more controlled, expressed through timing, pressure, and restraint rather than emotional release. He wields the Force as an extension of intent, making his presence feel less like a weapon unleashed, and more like a storm held barely in check.
+Tactical Combatant
Acier's hybrid Form V style, reinforced by Makashi footwork and street-honed awareness, favors control over spectacle. He thinks in sequences, angles, and outcomes, shaping engagements rather than rushing conclusions. He is less concerned with victory than with leverage and continuity, allowing him to endure and adapt against superior opponents.
+Relentless Will
Acier does not stop. Loss, injury, and disillusionment have not weakened his forward momentum, they have refined it. Where others falter under doubt, he continues with grim certainty. This persistence is both his greatest strength and the foundation of his most dangerous blind spot.

F L A W S
-Emotional Compartmentalization
Acier no longer experiences emotional numbness, but he controls his feelings so effectively that they are often delayed, suppressed, or postponed indefinitely. He believes this is maturity. In reality, it allows moral strain to accumulate unnoticed until it manifests through action rather than reflection.
-Accelerated but Unseasoned
Acier's abilities have developed at an exceptional pace, forged through war and necessity rather than long institutional refinement. While his discipline and adaptability allow him to contend with threats beyond his expected station, he remains early in the deeper accumulation of experience that tempers judgment over time. His confidence is earned, but his belief in his own readiness leaves him vulnerable to those who shape others through patience rather than force.
-Residual Recklessness
The impulsive drive that once defined him hasn't vanished; it hides beneath restraint. When provoked or protecting others, he can still charge past reason, embracing danger with a fatalist calm that borders on self-destructive.
-Burden of Legacy
The fear of becoming his father has transformed into a quieter, more dangerous thought: that he is different enough to walk where others fell. The prophecy and bloodline no longer paralyze him, they contextualize his actions. Destiny is not feared; it is managed.
-Trust & Intimacy
Acier still loves deeply, but he now expresses loyalty through protection and distance rather than openness. Vulnerability feels irresponsible. He believes keeping people at arm's length is how he keeps them safe, unaware that isolation is making it easier for him to drift without anchor.

Acier Moonbound began his lightsaber training under Jedi Knight Pisti Caleida Pisti Caleida , whose intermittent instruction emphasized discipline, precision, and emotional regulation. Despite limited formal instruction, Moonbound demonstrated rapid advancement due to exceptional reflexes, strong Force affinity, and natural dueling aptitude, reaching the functional level of an upper-tier Padawan earlier than expected. His early fighting style developed instinctively, blending Shii-Cho disarms with the direct power strikes of Djem So, shaped more by survival and real danger than by doctrinal study.

Extended exposure to live combat significantly accelerated his development. Engagements with bounty hunters, MagnaGuards, and predatory fauna forced Moonbound to adopt adaptive footwork, environmental awareness. His time with the Hidden Path refined these traits through sparring matches with Everest Vale Everest Vale and Aris Noble Aris Noble , exposing both strengths and limitations of his improvisational approach. His duel with the Sith Lord Darth Hydra Darth Hydra marked his initial exposure to Makashi-based Jar'Kai, Force-augmented blows, and Sith lightning, highlighting gaps in his technical defense.

Moonbound's most formative defeat occurred aboard the Death Star III during his duel with Kyrothian Ravoch Kyrothian Ravoch . After a prolonged engagement through unstable and hazardous terrain, Ravoch exploited an overextension and severed Moonbound's left arm at the elbow. Though decisively defeated, Moonbound demonstrated notable resilience and an emerging ability to read tempo and intent mid-combat. In the months following, brief training under Jedi Knight Lorn Reingard Lorn Reingard refined his use of Form V, while instruction from the Battlemaster Braze Braze introduced Makashi fundamentals, which he incorporated to improve footwork and reduce predictability.

His subsequent engagements against the assassin Eira Dyn Eira Dyn , his father Isley Verd Isley Verd further strengthened this evolution. On Genarius, Moonbound dueled the Sith Knight Vestra Tane Vestra Tane , demonstrating improved composure, counter-timing, and distance control before deliberately yielding to infiltrate the Sith Covenant. Weeks later, during a Covenant raid on Chandrila, he participated in the defeat of Meliant Meliant of the Dark Side Elite. Though the kill was executed with allied support, and Amoun was not completely killed, Moonbound's performance under Force Drain conditions highlighted his growing tactical awareness, adaptability, and ability to capitalize decisively within coordinated combat.


F O R C E- P O W E R S

Moonbound's extraordinary Force potential was not a quirk of birth but the culmination of a millennia-long breeding program undertaken by Clan Vethrisa Intended to create the prophesied "Final Weave," a being who could command the Force on a scale rivaling the greatest legends, the unexpected result was Acier himself. The depth of his connection reflected centuries of deliberate selection and ritual, making him less an accident of destiny and more the product of generations attempting to sculpt one.

Fellow sensitives often remarked that the energy around him was never still - Padawan Zaiya Ceti Zaiya Ceti once noted that "the Force seemed to swirl in all sorts of interesting ways with him." While the Sith Lord Kyrothian Ravoch Kyrothian Ravoch observed that "when he sighs, the Force ripples," describing him as a storm barely contained by flesh. This was reinforced on Dathomir, where Moonbound reached into the planet's ancient Force network and imposed his will upon the entity known as the Mother of Teeth. He seized the ambient threads of a Force nexus itself, binding the dark side entity in place through sheer command.

Moonbound's telekinetic ability was prodigious for his age. He could arrest the flight of missiles, and once unleashed a Force repulse so violent it cracked a corridor and detonated nearby fuel canisters. These eruptions were usually instinctive rather than calculated, revealing both the scale of his reserves and the volatility of his emotions. During his duel with the Sith Covenant's Triumvir Arris Windrun Arris Windrun , he demonstrated advanced multi-vector telekinesis under extreme pressure, suspending debris mid-air, converging it in simultaneous assault, and collapsing the ground beneath her position in a calculated attempt to destabilize a vastly powerful Sith. These displays revealed not only immense reserves but a growing capacity to compress, layer, and weaponize the battlefield itself.

Beyond raw power, Moonbound exhibited rare sensitivity through psychometry and Force empathy. During the confrontation within the ziggurat on Teth, he used the strength of his personal bonds to aid the Padawan Zaiya, amplifying her light-side projection until it purged a dark-side nexus. The episode confirmed that his greatest potential lay not merely in destruction but in connection, acting as a conduit through which the Force itself could unify and heal. His affinity for connection has even extended to creatures, as seen when he quieted a Ruping's fear through the Force alone.


O T H E R- A B I L I T I E S

Acier Moonbound's close-quarters combat has evolved from raw survival into disciplined, efficient violence. Five months of focused training under Jedi Knight Pisti Caleida, alongside the Hidden Path and intermittent Mandalorian instruction, refined his instincts into a controlled striking style built on footwork, timing, and endurance. He favored precise punches and body targeting, with the ability to integrate elbows, knees, and low kicks when needed. He fought with intent rather than recklessness.

While not a trained gunslinger, he demonstrated functional competence with small blasters, particularly in high-stress situations. His ability to remain calm under fire, combined with sharp spatial awareness, allowed him to improvise effectively in hostile environments.

Acier also exhibited impressive physical coordination, capable of traversing complex environments at speed, often while under fire.

Moonbound's survival was shaped not by raw strength but by speed, cunning and tenacity. He relied on gut instinct and acute awareness of his surroundings to outmaneuver more powerful opponents.

In addition, Acier possessed significant technical aptitude, having been mentored by a former slicer named Mira during his formative years. He became proficient at bypassing security systems and manipulating digital infrastructure. He once brokered a deal with the Black Sun by offering to slice into a rival syndicate's systems.

Acier demonstrated skill in repairing and modifying starships, hyperdrives and other mechanical systems.

These skills combined with his Force-sensitivity made him a valuable asset in both underground dealings and ancient artifact recovery.





E Q U I P M E N T- &- B E L O N G I N G S


Acier Moonbound had assembled a modest but meaningful collection of gear, each item marking a phase of his journey and personal growth.

  • Vinorl Kastan's lightsaber (formerly) - Belonging to a Jedi Knight, it was gifted to Acier's mother when she fled Dathomir with him as an infant.

  • Orryn's journal - The journal that belonged to his mother, Orryn. Before departing Dathomir, she left it with Vinorl Kastan. Many years later, when Acier returned to Dathomir, he was gifted his mother's journal by Kastan. This journal was lost upon the Flickerfox's destruction.

    "I'm not trying to become a Jedi. I think.
    I just want to know who I am, where I come from.
    I need to know who my parents were, you know?"

    Early Adventures

    Barely escaping Bonadan in tact, seventeen-year-old Acier Moonbound has been in hiding hopping from planet to planet to evade capture. During this time, Acier tangled with bounty hunters, encountered Jedi, explored ancient temples, and more.

    Through his repeated chance encounters with other Jedi, such as Valery Noble Valery Noble and Aadihr Lidos Aadihr Lidos - Ace picked up new artifacts and skills. With Noble, He recovered a Jedi holocron from an ancient Jedi temple dating back to the Ductavis Era. Using the recordings from said-holocron, Acier began to learn the basics of the Force. With Lidos, Acier discovered an affinity for psychometry.

    Familial Revelations

    After recovering a Dathomiri relic on Peridea, through psychometry, it granted him visions of Sinner's Well. Travelling to Ryloth, Acier met the Mand'alor Aether Verd Aether Verd and learned the identity of his father, The Sith Lord Isley Verd Isley Verd as well as his deeper connection to the House of Verd.

    Following being stranded on Cholganna, Acier reunites with Jedi Knight Pisti Caleida Pisti Caleida - whom he'd met sometime prior while staying on Denon. Ace agreed to aid her in her mission for a way off world in return. Literally through fate, Ace found someone he trusted enough to allow to train him.

    "You are part of something larger than yourself, Acier.
    That doesn't mean you have to give up who you've been.
    But do not mistake where you come from."
    - Aether Verd
    A New Outlook

    Several months into his training with Jedi Knight Pisti Caleida, now eighteen, Acier returned to a galaxy on the edge, stronger, sharper, and burdened with deeper conflict. Though far from mastery, he pursued the truth of his mother's fate and confronted the legacy of being Darth Metus' son.

    5290cd1c38e7a8513c7281d5afb4b956.jpg
    During this time, Acier returned to Bonadan to finally confront Tessk and make him call off the bounty. Acier and Rheyla Tann fought through Tessk's hideout, even tangling with reprogrammed IG-100 MagnaGuards. In a fit of rage, Acier tapped into the Dark side, killing Tessk, leaving him deeply affected by this. In the aftermath, Acier recovered and claimed Tessk's modified YT-series freighter - naming if the Flickerfox.


    Closure


    After viewing the echoes imprinted on his lightsaber, Acier began the search for the original owner of his lightsaber. His search led him to Dathomir, where he would meet Vinorl Kastan - a Jedi Knight who walked away from the Order, taking the Barash Vow. He learned this man knew his mother and was gifted her journals.

    In his freetime, Acier read through his mother's journals. Learning her name, Orryn, her past, the nature of her relationship with his father, and why she left him on Bonadan. Discovering the truth about his origins allowed Acier to fill the void that had been with him his entire life, closing that chapter forever.


    The Hidden Path


    Following the fall of Coruscant and the return of the Galactic Empire, the Core fell into disarray. Valery Noble, now having stepped down as the New Jedi Order's Grand Master, formed her own rebel network to combat the Empire - the Hidden Path. Acier was one of the many she reached out to for help. Trusting in his friend and wanting to fight against the Empie, he decided to join.


    Within the Hidden Path, Acier intercepted Imperial operations, aided in establishing remote outposts, and even stood against a Sith Lord. Yet it was among its ranks that he also began to form deeper connections.

    Not a member of its ranks, but a prominent figure in his life was Sibylla Abrantes Sibylla Abrantes , the Mandalorian Ambassador serving under the High Republic. Their paths crossed repeatedly during Acier's visits to Mandalorian space, and what began as curiosity evolved into a quiet, growing bond. Sibylla's intellect and grace challenged Acier's cynicism, grounding his restless spirit. Their relationship became a rare point of warmth in Acier's turbulent life.

    "The path ahead is woven to break him, [...]
    And I sense much anger in him. And fear."
    - Vinorl Kastan
    As the Great Core War dawned. Settled within the Hidden Path, Acier Moonbound stood taller, sharper, and no longer just a survivor. He had allies at his side, a cause to fight for, and the beginnings of a name beyond Bonadan's shadows. Yet beneath that growth lingered the wolf's hunger - loss, fear, and anger that refuse to fade. The bonds he'd forged kept him steady, but the line between strength and ruin never felt thinner.

    0bc7e8a3322bfbfc6a5d5e864f6e06a7.jpg

    A Son's Loss

    After months of uneasy peace, Acier began suffering recurring visions of his mother's torture on Dathomir. Determined to save her, he returned to his birthplace with the aid of Imperial agent Ines Pen-Ar-Lan Ines Pen-Ar-Lan , alias Verse Melnau. Together they freed Orryn, but the rescue proved a trap laid by Clan Vethrisa, his own bloodline.

    No longer seeking his death, the clan instead revered him as the prophesied Final Weave. To sever his attachments, the Clan Mother executed Orryn before his eyes. In a moment of grief and fury, Acier lost control, turning on the clan and slaughtering nearly all of them until Verse stopped him just short of killing their young.

    When the rage subsided, only guilt remained. Haunted by the massacre, Acier carries the weight of Dathomir's blood as a stain on his conscience and a reminder of what unchecked anger can cost.


    Outbreak of the Great Core War

    When the first volleys of the Great Core War began on Atrisia, Acier and a few other members of the Hidden Path moved to intercept aboard a new Death Star. Amid the chaos, Moonbound crossed blades with Kyrothian Ravoch Kyrothian Ravoch , a Sith Lord of terrifying composure and precision. Their clash tore through the battle station's corridors, twenty relentless minutes of steel, light, and will. Ravoch's discipline met Moonbound's hybrid ferocity in a duel that tested every lesson he had ever learned.

    Moonbound fought with unmatched endurance and instinct, adapting to collapsing halls and waves of Stormtroopers, but the Sith's mastery proved overwhelming. Ravoch dismantled him piece by piece, exploiting every flicker of doubt until the final exchange - a blinding arc of crimson that severed Acier's left arm. Aether managed to rescue Acier from capture or death, returning with him to Roon.

    Although the Death Star III was successfully destroyed, the Galactic Alliance collapsed in the aftermath - leaving a dense power vacuum in the Core following the war's onset.


    Fallout

    18125adf9f763f72df7caf808be35c17.jpg
    Recovering on Roon, Acier isolates himself from everyone - including the Hidden Path and Sibylla. Still reeling from his mother's death, the loss of his arm, and the memory of seeing Sibylla kiss Aurelian Veruna Aurelian Veruna at the Naboo Masquerade some weeks prior, he convinces himself that distance is the only way to survive the storm inside him.

    Weeks later, Sibylla tracks him down and confronts him on a hospital terrace. What begins as frustration over his silence unravels into a brutal confrontation, Acier's grief and heartbreak colliding with her confusion and hurt. He reveals that his bond with her through the Force showed him her feelings for Aurelian, and that he's been running ever since, unable to bear the connection that keeps him tied to her emotions.

    In the end, Ace admits he stayed away because there was no way to fix it and that he wants space. Although hurt, Sibylla ultimately respects his choice, granting him the distance he so desperately desired.


    Travels Across the Galaxy

    77feee3e09fc49286fe9b42207b31a24.jpg
    Following his recovery, Acier departed Roon but didn't return to the fight. For many weeks, he simply drifted the galaxy. During that time, he constructed a new lightsaber, reconnected with the Force, and encountered new and interesting characters. Throughout this period, Acier traveled on a journey of self-discovery and renewal - figuring out who he was and who he wanted to truly be going forward.

    Acier both refined and developed his skill with a lightsaber. On Naboo, he briefly trained with Jedi Knight Lorn Reingard Lorn Reingard in refining both variants of Form V - Djem So and Shien. On Veridia, Acier also trained briefly with the Jedi Exile and Battlemaster Braze Braze who taught him the fundamentals of Form II; Makashi, in which Ace implemented into his footwork.


    Duel on Altier

    Stopping off on the planet Altier, Acier encountered a family of farmers and briefly stayed with them. All that is put at risk with the arrival of none other than Acier's father, Darth Metus, who came to harm the family patriarch - Vor. Refusing to leave them, Acier, met his father for the first time as well as stood against him.

    Post-Duel

    Acier's duel with his father further proved to him that he still had much to learn. He continued to focus his efforts on improving his dueling, and re-learning his place in the galaxy. However, despite the Hidden Path having gone quiet since Atrisia, Acier would aid those still active when he could. Such as when he defended a political activist on Corellia from Eira Dyn Eira Dyn - a Sith Assassin.

    On the quieter end of things, he continued to meet new and old friends. One such old acquaintance was Jael Amnen Jael Amnen - a Nocturnist Priestess, whom he had grown concerned for as he learned her faith was veering dangerously close to fanaticism.


    The Mother of Teeth

    24c95a78a0fe8c87e6864f088ffcb463.jpg
    Eventually, t
    he old fractures within him had steadied, though the marks remained. It was during this wandering that he reunited with Vinorl Kastan on a struggling frontier colony. The two walked the ridge above the settlement, speaking not of war but of wounds: Orryn's death, Dathomir, and the blood he spilled in vengeance.


    For the first time, Ace could speak of his mother without breaking. Vinorl sensed the change in him: still worn, still haunted, but no longer ruled by the fracture. When Ace confessed he didn't know how to face what he had done on Dathomir, Vinorl offered a simple truth: he couldn't outrun that ground forever. Healing, he said, was not distance. Sometimes it was return. Ace agreed.

    Ace returned to Dathomir with Jedi Knight Lorn Reingard at his side, hoping to confront the ghosts of Clan Vethrisa and lay the horrors of the massacre to rest. Instead, they encountered something far older... the Mother of Teeth, a Dathomiri entity who revered Ace's slaughter as divine proof of the Final Weave. She sought not to condemn him, but to mold him into a messianic figure for the clans.


    The confrontation devolved into a brutal duel. Her shadowed magic twisted the battlefield, forcing Ace and Lorn into a desperate fight for survival. In the end, they struck her down. With her dying breath, the Mother of Teeth whispered a final omen:
    Arcana.

    Following the Mother's final omen, Ace traveled to Arcana, drawn to its buried secrets and persistent pull in the Force. Among its ruins he encountered an old contact, Calyx Sundrift, and together they explored the dead world's forgotten structures and lingering echoes. What began as investigation became revelation when they discovered the truth of their bond: Ace and Calyx were a Dyad in the Force, two beings sharing a single, intertwined current.

    The Wolf's Den

    Their connection had barely settled before the Sith Covenant struck Genarius. Ace fought alongside the High Republic, helping repel the assault. The Covenant's presence in the Force did not move like a swarm; it moved like an orchestra. Their coordination, their precision, and the controlled darkness surrounding them all pointed to the same conclusion.

    This was not a loose cult of Sith but a carefully constructed wound in the galaxy. That pattern mattered more to Ace than the victory, and so, he falsely pledged loyalty to the Apprentice he'd faced in the battle - Vestra Tane Vestra Tane and returned with her to Desevro.


    Privately, his intent was clear: infiltrate, observe, and hunt the truth from within. For the first time since they'd met, Ace left Tic behind, entrusting the BD-unit's safety to his friend Isobel Serraris Isobel Serraris . It was a quiet admission that wherever he was going next was not a place Tic belonged. With a new lightsaber at his side, steadier control over his emotions, and the belief that he could walk through darkness without falling to it, Acier Moonbound stepped willingly into the Covenant's shadow, convinced his discipline would keep him safe, blind to the fact that such certainty was the oldest trap the dark had ever laid.

    "What I do know is that you will be placed in circumstances
    That test more than instinct or endurance.
    They will test who you choose to be.
    What you are willing to do.
    What you must pretend to believe."

    - Sibylla Abrantes

    When the Sith Covenant's unnerving precision reveals a hidden design behind every attack, Ace makes the most dangerous choice of his life. To vanish into their ranks under a false oath, determined to discover the truth from within. Steeled by grief, guided by a Dyad he barely understands, and convinced his hard-won discipline can keep the dark at bay, Ace walks willingly into the wolf's den… unaware that the mask he wears may become the first chain the shadows fasten around him.

    Early Days in the Covenant

    Acier spent several weeks integrating within the Sith Covenant. Training with fellow acolytes, earning their respect and performing missions. He unoficially became Arris Windrun Arris Windrun 's personal hitman after accompanying her to Nar Shaddaa. She evaluated him when he was ordered to destabilize a swoop gang ahead of the Seventh Year Showdown through the assassination of the racer Peek Zannon.

    Ace carried out the hit swiftly and publicly, leaving behind panic and fractured rumors before withdrawing cleanly. Though outwardly unaffected, the act marked Ace's first deliberate execution, forcing him to bury the cost in order to maintain his cover.


    Reunion and Reconciliation

    139f2077a6cf3badeba82af6e4cf9ea3.jpg

    After a month of silence between the two friends, Acier finally breaks no contact and reached out to Sibylla Abrantes. Ace reconciled with Sibylla and revealed his covert infiltration of the Sith Covenant. Initially reluctant and worried about the danger he'd be putting himself in, Sibylla eventually agrees to serve as his outside contact. The pair also develop a contingency for regular check-ins in order to monitor both his intel and his grip on the Dark side.

    A Light in the Dark


    a3290657783e5204cf39ae7f9a73fe51.jpg
    His time with the Covenant wasn't all dark and shadows. Ace found solace in Fatine von Ascania Fatine von Ascania , a Ukatian actress and noble, and someone who reminded him of the teenager he was. Not a soldier. Not a weapon.

    Fatine was the first person Ace had taken an interest in since his heartbreak with Sibylla. The young actress was a shining light in the darkness that surrounded him, and as his feelings for her grew, so did his fear of losing it all.

    While the pair have not made their feelings known yet, they are sure to reach a collision point. Eventually.


    New Intel

    Ace would eventually bring Lorn into the operation. Meeting him in a café on Desevro where he revealed his infiltration of the Sith Covenant, and outlining what he had learned so far. After challenging Ace's lack of an exit plan, Lorn warned him about erosion and false control, then committed to monitoring him through strict check-ins. Ace accepted the terms and acknowledged the cost of no longer acting alone.

    A little later, Ace attended the Covenant's Life Day gathering on Nar Shaddaa as part of his ongoing infiltration of the Sith Covenant, using the chaos of the celebration to quietly gather intelligence. He overheard enough of a private discussion between Arris Windrun, Vestra Tane, and Mercy Mercy to realize the Covenant had a compromised Republic noble and was shifting from raids toward plans for wider war, likely aimed at the Core Worlds.

    Ace would relay this information to Sibylla during Quinn Varanin's coronation ceremony on Eshan.


    Terror in Tapani

    The Sith Covenant eventually turned their focus on to the Tapani Sector. Assaulting House Calipsa, engineered to fracture the Tapani Sector, provoke panic, and push the galaxy closer to open war. Ace entered the operation as a covert infiltrator. What began as a strategic strike unfolded into a massacre, with civilians slaughtered amid celebration. Forced to act alongside it, Ace experienced mounting horror and disgust, suppressing his revulsion to maintain cover. Ace began to feel deeply uncertain whether he could convincingly inhabit the role of a Sith without losing himself in the process.

    As the assault progressed, Ace confronted the reality of what the Covenant truly was. Witnessing the aftermath of unchecked brutality and the ease with which cruelty was justified hardened something within him. His earlier doubts, about his ability to endure this path, about the cost of continuing, gave way to grim clarity.

    Whatever the personal toll, Ace resolved that the Sith Covenant could not be allowed to continue existing; its destruction became not a distant objective, but a necessity forged in blood and certainty.


    Deeper into the Fold

    9047ce73673fba9e181b1200d26ac4ab.jpg
    Following the Covenant's assault on the Tapani Sector and transitioning into 903 ABY, Ace intensified his infiltration of the Sith Covenant, uncovering evidence of insider intelligence linked to House Veruna and a noble traitor operating within the Republic. He did this through infiltrating a private facility on Nar Shaddaa belonging to Arris Windrun, where he was discovered upon her return.

    Rather than executing him, Windrun acknowledged Moonbound's growing effectiveness and confirmed the Covenant's intention to expand its campaign into the Core Worlds, including an attack on the Imperial Security Bureau headquarters on Coruscant. She subsequently offered him a position as her apprentice and operational partner, granting him increased autonomy and access to Covenant planning. Moonbound accepted, recognizing the opportunity to move closer to the Covenant's leadership while further entrenching himself within the organization and increasing the risks associated with his covert mission.

    23662b45647525e9a3f75c4d04e04227.jpg
    When the Sith Covenant finally attacked Coruscant, Ace was deployed as part of a covert infiltration of the ISB Headquarters. Entering the conflict amid citywide infrastructure failure and a massive Force storm, Moonbound advanced through collapsing defensive lines and penetrated the ISB interior alone. During the battle, briefly lost operational focus due to heightened emotional volatility and Dark Side influence, before regaining clarity and proceeding to the archive sector.

    Utilizing a MicroThrust computer spike in conjunction with manual slicing, Ace successfully extracted personnel files, black operations data, and tracking deployments moments before an Imperial protocol triggered the destruction of the archive complex. His escape coincided with the facility's partial collapse and the arrival of additional Covenant forces, securing the operation's intelligence objective while marking a significant escalation in his internal struggle with the Dark Side.


    Erosion

    In the aftermath of the siege, Ace met up with Arris to inform her he'd completed his mission. After a heated exchange that followed, the pair clashed in a destructive Force duel sparked by ideological conflict over the Covenant. Moonbound unleashed a Dark Side fueled telekinetic assault that shattered the terrain beneath Windrun, while she endured the attack and countered with precision gunfire and advanced mechu-deru self-repair. Though neither gained decisive victory, the battle shifted into a tense exchange of motives, culminating in Windrun directing Moonbound to train Kirie Kirie Corsell to "survive," leaving their rivalry unresolved and layered with new strategic implications.

    During the clean up of remaining Imperial holdouts, Ace learned that Sibylla had been attacked weeks prior by the Dark Side Elite Remowa Remowa . He rushed to see her on Naboo where he almost got into an altercation with King Aurelian Veruna. After seeing she was well, he relayed new information to her and after a heated exchange, left Sibylla worried how much this mission was effecting him.

    Some time later, after rumors of a mole within the Covenant had reached the higher ups. Ace was brought in for interrogation, forced to consume skirtopanol, Ace calmly managed to keep his cover. But not without arousing more suspicion following the way he answered questions presented.


    Duel on Rattatak

    Ace eventually tracked down Remowa,
    driven by anger and a desire for retribution. Upon locating her, Moonbound initiated a duel, confronting Remowa alone. Despite her greater experience and her use of a lightwhip to control the flow of the fight, Moonbound pressed the engagement aggressively, refusing to yield ground and forcing the confrontation into close quarters.

    c9d6f1099e47385946c8b98547d9bcf6.jpg
    As the duel escalated, Lysander arrived and joined the fight on Ace's side. The two quickly fell into a complementary rhythm, with von Ascania applying direct pressure while Moonbound maneuvered into openings created by the assault. Working in tandem, they gradually began to disrupt Remowa's control of the battlefield and compress the space in which she could maneuver.

    Recognizing the growing danger of the duel, Remowa abruptly escalated the conflict. She unleashed a powerful Force Maelstrom, surrounding herself with a protective barrier while generating a violent telekinetic shockwave accompanied by a surge of Force lightning. The blast hurled Moonbound and von Ascania away and shattered the engagement's momentum, allowing Remowa to disengage and escape the battlefield before a decisive outcome could be reached.

    In the aftermath, Moonbound reflected on the encounter, recognizing how close he had come to defeat during the initial stages of the duel, and resolved to further refine both his technique and equipment. This period of reflection ultimately led him to construct a secondary lightsaber shoto, intended to improve his versatility should he face Remowa again.
